Now, right-click and modify the dword value enabledhcp, in the right panel, to 0 which can disable dhcp. However, if you want to enable the feature back, change the value data to 1. Refresh view of your computer for the changes to take effect. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
